My girlfriend Pat (the jewelry designer...remember? you may have seen one of her designs on the girlie with the heart shaped nipples) has a little brother in law school. He works & studies hard. What I like about him is that he’s intense & serious...most of the time. Every once in a while, he needs to take breaks from all the seriousness & intensity. He does this by being incredibly silly. He’ll text me short little nothings (that mean absolutely nothing)...just to make me laugh:

Law Student: Anything new & exciting...
Law Student: any new men in your life?

Chick: um...no (he knows I'm married...he's just being...silly...told you).
Chick: any new women in your life?

Law Student: no

Chick: how can we fix that?

Law Student: hmmm
Law Student:: get together and have crazy monkey sex.

Chick: monkey???
Chick: what does that mean to you???
(I'd be very interested to know)

Law Student: the kind you have to clean up with a mop and bucket.

Chick: hmmm...
Chick: now you've got my interest.

Law Student: good.

Then...just like that...he's gone...(& I won't hear from him for months) & I'm left smiling.
Pat thinks he's nuts...& he is.
